Web design & website development
As a web development agency our capabilities have benefited a wide range of customers, producing effective web design for Lancashire and Manchester based clients as well as those throughout the UK & Internationally.
We often find ourselves becoming an integral part of our clients businesses, in fact many clients have commissioned us to develop multiple website design projects. This allows them to promote company divisions to a separate customer base, focus on new business prospects, tackle emerging markets, publish campaigns with supporting microsites and isolate sales portals from corporate brochure websites. Most websites are controlled and edited from the one admin area, our innovative content management system - Ticker.
Website design brief
Most web design projects start with a client supplied project brief, however, if you prefer, we are happy to spend time with you and use our expertise to help you prepare the brief.
The first question we inevitably ask is: why do you want a website?
Typical responses include:
- We want to look more professional
- We want to build brand awareness
- We would like to increase enquiries
- We want to sell our products online
- We don’t like our old website
Next, we enquire about what you can afford, it may seem early in the process to be asking such a question but it is essential if we are to create an accurate plan and deliver your project on time and on budget. It also prevents time being wasted researching features & functionality you’d like but can’t quite afford. On the flip side, there’s no point in us delivering a project that simply matches your competitors offering when you have the budget to blow them out of the water.
Website planning & delivery
As a Lancashire based web design agency, we believe that accurate planning is crucial to achieve your project objectives. To do this we produce a proposal, detailing project deliverables, estimated task milestones, assigned team members and an accurate cost breakdown.
If you are happy with the proposal and give us the green light your project begins:
- Creatives get together to brainstorm ideas and explore possible directions
- A series of initial design concepts are presented
- A wireframe of your site is produced to demonstrate navigation and usability
- Once your website creative is approved, the website development begins
- Content including copy, news stories and images are gathered and/or created using our photography and copywriting services
- Finally before being published, your website is fully tested in all popular web browsers, versions and platforms
We keep you informed throughout the whole process managing your expectations and giving you complete piece of mind.
After website launch
We don’t forget about you after your website is launched, as always we remain on hand for technical support and to answer any questions you may have.
Results matter, and we want to provide you with an impressive return on investment. As a full service agency we offer ongoing digital marketing services such as search engine optimization, social media marketing & email marketing to drive traffic to your website.
